The slabs
Size and figure, selection by selection
Six selections photographed in the same setting at the same scale, ordered from the palest to the deepest. Here, unlike the families that come from a single quarry, everything changes: slab size runs from Pietra Dorata's 250 cm to Siena's 300, and even the rock changes — three of these six are not marble. The colour has not been aligned: between Cleopatra and Rainforest there are sixty points of saturation, and that is exactly what you are buying.
Giallo Cleopatra
300 × 160 cm2 cm and 3 cm thick
The palest of the family: a very even cream-yellow ground with almost no veining, just a few slightly warmer cloudings. An Egyptian marble, and the easiest to handle over large continuous surfaces, where a full yellow would become overwhelming.

Giallo d'Istria
300 × 165 cm2 cm and 3 cm thick
A gold-beige ground of very fine, even grain with a few slightly darker patches. It is not a marble but a compact limestone, quarried in Istria in the Kirmenjak area: the same stone Venice built its plinths from, and it stands up to water and frost.

Pietra Dorata
250 × 130 cm2 cm and 3 cm thick
Wavy bands alternating pale yellow and light brown, each edged in dark along its upper margin: a figure that reads from a distance. It is a sandstone from the Tuscan Maremma, not a marble — coarser grain, porous surface. It is not frost-resistant: use it indoors or in sheltered external positions, not in exposed paving.

Giallo Reale
260 × 135 cm2 cm and 3 cm thick
A warm, compact golden-yellow ground crossed by cloudings and patches that turn pink and orange. It is Italian — the Venetian Prealps, between Verona and Vicenza — and production is very limited: it is also found as Giallo Reale Rosato and Extra Giallo, which are selections from the same quarry.

Giallo Siena
300 × 160 cm2 cm and 3 cm thick
The head of the family: a luminous yellow ground crossed by a net of sharp, continuous orange-gold veins. It is quarried in the Montagnola Senese, between Casole d'Elsa, Monteriggioni and Sovicille, and it is the yellow of Italian decorative work. A heterogeneous material: even within one block no two slabs are alike, and it is vacuum-resined before sawing.

Rainforest Gold
270 × 170 cm2 cm and 3 cm thick
The darkest and the most figured: a golden-brown ground crossed by a net of white and burgundy veins that look like branches. It comes from Bidasar in Rajasthan; the trade calls it marble, but under the European standard it is a serpentinite. It is soft, and the polish needs care in fabrication or it will degrade.
Request this selection: Rainforest GoldAbout the stone
The Yellow Marbles are a commercial family, not a geological one: what they have in common is colour, and nothing else. The head of the family is Giallo Siena, quarried in the Montagnola Senese — a luminous yellow ground with the net of orange veins Italy has used from basilicas to palaces. Beside it stand Giallo Reale from the Venetian Prealps, also Italian and very limited in production, the Egyptian Giallo Cleopatra with almost no veining, and Giallo d'Istria, the stone of Venice's plinths. Three of the six selections are not marble in the strict sense — Istria is a limestone, Pietra Dorata a Tuscan sandstone, Rainforest Gold an Indian serpentinite — and the difference is not a quibble: it changes the finishes that can be cut, the frost resistance and the price. Each is declared below.

How it behaves once laid
Stone changes with the surface it covers: on a continuous wall the figure reads in full, on a floor you walk across it. These are reference settings.
Reference renderings, not Eurostone supplies: they show the material in place, not a completed project.
